Hopi Ear Candles
Hopi ear candles are used to treat a number of conditions of the ear, nose, and throat. They are different from conventional wax candles, and are actually a cotton tube, infused with beeswax, honey and therapeutic oils.
They have been used to treat ear, nose and throat conditions since Ancient Greece, and many people find that regular ear candling treatments offer relief from:
Vertigo & Dizziness
Headaches & Migraines
Hay Fever
Sore Throats
Sinusitis
And much, much more.
How does the treatment work?
The candles work by slowly vaporising their ingredients and causing a mild suction within the ear, which lets the vapours gently massage the eardrum and ear canal. Once the candle is placed in the ear, it forms a seal that enables wax and other impurities to be drawn out. There is nothing to worry about, and no wax or ash will drop into your ear.
What happens during a Hopi ear candle treatment?
The first thing to say is that this procedure is pleasant and non-invasive. You will lay in a comfortable position on my massage table before a Hopi ear candle is put into the first ear, lit, and held in place for approximately ten minutes, after which the ear is cleaned. We will then repeat the procedure in your other ear. Lastly, I’ll ask you to drink a glass of water to rehydrate your body.
How long does this treatment take?
Hopi ear candle treatment takes about 10-20 minutes per ear, so you should expect your appointment with me to be anywhere between 30-40 minutes.

Can anyone have Hopi ear candles treatment?
Although most people do benefit from this treatment, I will not carry it out if you have an ear infection, perforated eardrum, inflammation within the ear, or if you have grommets fitted. Before the treatment, I’ll talk you through the candles’ ingredients to check and make sure that you are not allergic to any of them.
